Chapter 623 OPEN RELATIONSHIP



Chapter 623 OPEN RELATIONSHIP

  "You\'ve met her before, she is Ivan\'s girlfriend, she also teased you, you remember?" Apple grumbled.

  "Well, I honestly don\'t remember," Jayden replied, fiddling with Apple\'s hair between his fingers. He glanced at her face casually and looked relaxed, an expression that he often sported whenever he was with his fiancée.

  "She was there when you picked me up when I was at the bar, after I finished working with Ivan." Apple was still trying to remind him.

  "Oh, since you were around, then I must not have paid attention to other women." Jayden smiled and kissed the tip of Apple\'s nose with a chuckle. "You\'re too beautiful to ignore."

  Adrian almost choked when she heard those cheesy words and rolled her eyes so hard she almost feared her eyes wouldn\'t return to their original positions.

  But, Apple\'s expression actually made Jayden laugh.

  "What\'s with that expression?" he asked, pulling Apple closer and letting her lean on his shoulder. "I\'m telling the truth."

  "Yeah, I know I\'m pretty, you don\'t have to keep reminding me," said Apple halfheartedly, because she wasn\'t serious about what she was saying.

  Jayden chuckled, but then he started asking what happened to Derek and Gladys after that.

  "Gladys plans to ghost him and kick him out to the curb, not answering his messages or picking up calls from him," Apple said. "Gladys won\'t let him get a chance to even explain himself."

  "You mean that was your plan?" Jayden said, because he knew full well that Gladys couldn\'t do such things. His cousin was very gullible and would tend to forgive Derek even after what he did.

  "Yup, so to speak," Apple smirked. "How do you know?" she asked, lifting her head to take a closer look at Jayden.

  "Because I can\'t imagine such an idea coming from Gladys." Jayden pinched Apple\'s cheek gently. "She couldn\'t come up with such a devilish idea."

  Hearing Jayden\'s reasoning, Apple raised an eyebrow. "So you mean I\'m that devilish?"

  Jayden chuckled when he heard this and kissed the top of Apple\'s head and then cheek, whispering, "I love your devilish side."

  Ghosting someone was a bad thing to do, but so was cheating.

  ========================   

  Derek really didn\'t know what to do now, because Gladys wouldn\'t open the door for him and wouldn\'t reply to messages or pick up calls from him either.

  He noticed Apple coming out of Gladys\' apartment, but he couldn\'t get close because she had four bodyguards escorting her out.

  And after an hour of knocking on the door and persuading, but to no avail, Derek finally decided to return to the hotel, where he had left Rachel earlier.

  Of course, that wasn\'t such a good idea either, because Rachel still looked so angry that he\'d actually decided to just leave her and go see Gladys.

  "Stop being like that," Derek said sarcastically, because he couldn\'t stand Rachel\'s irritating behavior which worsened his mood in return. But it didn\'t end there. She even slammed whatever she was holding onto to show how annoyed she was. "Gladys knows about our affair," Derek said furiously.

  "So?" Rachel folded her arms across her chest, still clad in the camisole she wore earlier and sitting on the single sofa by the window.

  The light from the buildings around this hotel which contrasted sharply with the darkness of the night, fell on her face and she looked very beautiful to say the least.

  If Derek hadn\'t been in all this hassle, he would have pounced on this girl and made love to her.

  Too bad, what was going through his head right now was so messed up and he didn\'t even find the same passion that Rachel usually evoked in him.

  "So?" Derek repeated the word. "She will end her relationship with me."

  "So what? You\'re with her for her money, aren\'t you?" Rachel said sarcastically.

  Rachel was the one who came up with this crazy idea. She was the one who suggested for them to have an open relationship and Derek could date Gladys, because she was lucky enough to get access to be in the same circle of friends as the girl from the Tordoff family.

  Moreover, since Gladys was very gullible and easy to approach, it was therefore quite easy for Rachel to introduce Derek to Gladys and start taking advantage of the girl. It was Derek\'s job to cheat her out of her money. After that, Derek would give the money to Rachel.

  Derek didn\'t know what was in his mind when he agreed to the open relationship concept that Rachel suggested, but at that moment, he loved this girl and he understood that he couldn\'t give Rachel what she wanted from a financial perspective, because he wasn\'t too well off.

  Therefore, when Rachel suggested having an open relationship, Derek thought this girl would eventually wake up and come back to him.

  But, apparently not, she got together with Ivan Andreas, the photographer who could fulfill all her expensive desires, buying her branded bags and bringing her on great vacations.

  Meanwhile, Derek, who was supposed to be Rachel\'s boyfriend, had actually turned into the other man in her relationship with Ivan.

  Derek and Ivan were friends as well, but of course Ivan didn\'t know anything about the open relationship between Derek and Rachel, and neither did Gladys.

  Meanwhile Rachel and Derek would continue to meet whenever an opportunity arose and spend time together, which no one would suspect because they thought the two of them were friends.

  What kept Derek going was Rachel\'s words. She always said that he was her true love and that she would leave Ivan eventually, because she saw no future with him, she saw her future together with Derek, not with any other man.

  But, since they were still young, shouldn\'t they spend some time having fun before getting tied down? Explore a lot of things so that there would be no regrets later? Rachel\'s words, not Derek\'s.

  And because Derek was afraid of losing this woman, because he felt they were perfect together and Rachel would end up with him in the end, because he was the one she really loved, so he put up with this bullshit.

  Derek was still thinking the woman he loved was Rachel, even when he was with Gladys, even though he knew how much she loved him and always tried to make him happy and fulfill all his requests.

  Never once did Derek think that Gladys would leave him. He always thought he would leave Gladys when Rachel was done with her wanderings and prepared to tie the knot with him.

  It was just that what Derek was feeling right now didn\'t seem like that at all. His heart was not at ease when he found out that Gladys knew about this affair and broke their relationship.

  And for the first time he resented Rachel…

  "If she really broke up with you, then so be it, let it go," Rachel grumbled, then smiled a little and moved closer to Derek. "I heard you went on a vacation with Jayden Tordoff and his girlfriend?"

  Derek narrowed his eyes when he heard what Rachel said and seemed to be able to read where this conversation was going.

  "I met them there by chance and didn\'t go on a vacation with them," Derek corrected Rachel for her assumption.

  However, Rachel just shrugged her shoulders and started talking back in a light tone. "Well… are you good friends with Apple or Jayden Tordoff? We can arrange dinner together with them."

  Rachel failed to have a friendly relationship with Apple when she was working for Ivan, but since Derek was here and he was easier to socialize with, Rachel thought it wouldn\'t be difficult for Derek to become close friends with Apple.

  Rachel even forgot about Derek\'s failed attempt at the bar, when he attempted to approach Apple and instead ran into Jayden Tordoff there.

  "No," said Derek, shaking his head and giving Rachel a disgusted look.

  "What do you mean by no?" Rachel was slightly taken aback by how Derek turned her down and how he looked at her now. He had never looked at Rachel like this before.

  "I know what\'s going on in your head and what you\'re planning to do, so my answer is no." He set his foot down in this matter. "They\'re both engaged."

  "Yeah, but they\'re not married yet." And it seemed Rachel immediately realized that her out of impulse answer had gone too far and tried to save the situation by explaining herself. "That is not what I mean…"

  Only, Derek didn\'t want to hear her explanation anymore.

  "Enough Rachel." Derek then stood up, trying to get away from this woman so he could think more clearly.

  However, Rachel didn\'t leave him alone, she tried to approach Derek and make him understand that that wasn\'t her intention, that this man had misunderstood the meaning of her words.

  But, of course this made Derek even more uncomfortable. He felt overwhelmed by Rachel who continuously invaded his personal space.

  "Hey, I\'m sorry, okay? I didn\'t mean to say that," Rachel said, trying to hug Derek. "I love you, I always do."

  However, Derek could no longer feel the comfort he felt from the words I love you that Rachel said to him.

  And just at that moment, his cell phone lit up, indicating that a message had come in and when he saw who the sender was, Derek shoved Rachel away from him as he opened the contents of the message, making the girl in front of him widen her eyes in disbelief.

  "Shit!" Derek cursed while reading a message from Gladys.
